Useful: Creating a startup icon for EuroForMix on your desktop:
Step 1: Run this code within your preferred R-version:
path <- file.path(Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE"),"Desktop",fsep="\\")
setwd(path) #If 'Desktop' is not the proper desktop name you may need to change it.
.First = function(x) {require(stats);require(euroformix);efm()};save.image(".Rdata"); #creates a necessary ".Rdata"-file on desktop.


Step 2: Creating the shortcut on desktop:
- Create a copy (CTRL + C and then CTRL + V) of the R icon on the desktop.
- Name the copy "EuroForMix" or something arbitrary.
- Right-click on icon. Select "Properties" and then go to the "Shortcut" tab (naming depends on language).
- Remove the text within "Start in", click "Apply" and then close the window.
